Youyoufan looked at Xu Mu and continued, “In simple terms, your race’s history is one of conflict with alien races. You only trust yourselves and never trust outsiders.”
“You’re right. We don’t believe in gods or buddhas—we only believe in our ancestors.”
Xu Mu nodded lightly.
That’s exactly how it was with the descendants of Yan and Huang. The more they believed, the more it showed they believed in nothing. Most people would bow to various gods and pray for blessings, but deep down, they denied their existence.
“But we’re different. For example, behind the Holy See is the Saint Light Clan, and behind our Abyss Chapel are alien races as well.”
Youyoufan spread her hands as she spoke. “Now do you understand? We save these people to increase our combat strength for the conflicts in the Inner Realm.”
Hearing this, Xu Mu finally understood the reasoning. If he had to describe it, it was like this:
The alien races elsewhere were more like the top sects within Dragon Country. They recruited disciples widely to enhance their own strength. When these alien races found someone with great talent, they would genuinely offer rare treasures and resources, which made many people grateful.
These people would willingly give their lives for their faith, just like the disciples who devoted their lives to their sects.
The only difference was that abroad, these were alien races, while within Dragon Country, they were one of their own.
No wonder the plot had mentioned before that all the gods and buddhas from abroad, once they entered Dragon Country, had to abide by the Public Security Law and the Road Traffic Safety Law.
“So you mean that the conflicts among your alien races abroad mostly take place in the Inner Realm?”
Xu Mu asked.
“Exactly. In the past, like you, they would also fight in the Outer Realm. The religious wars in the West killed countless people, and the alien races were behind all of it. But it’s different now.”
Youyoufan explained. “This place is more like a supply depot for the alien races, providing experts and rare treasures.”
Xu Mu nodded slightly, realizing he had gained some more knowledge.
“Alright, let’s get back to the earlier topic. Do you really have no pills on you?”
Youyoufan inquired.
“No. I’ll have to wait until my people get some. How about you leave for now and call me again in a week?”
As Xu Mu said this, he began to control the larva inside her, issuing a command for it to start absorbing whenever Youyoufan began to release large amounts of Qi.
The total amount absorbed shouldn’t be too much—just enough for Youyoufan to notice that, over time, her Qi was indeed decreasing.
“Fine then.”
Youyoufan certainly wasn’t going to leave. She had another task this time: investigating Xu Mu. His performance in the Martial Arts Tournament had been too outstanding, alerting the Silent Prophet. Since Youyoufan had originally planned to come find Xu Mu anyway, she took on the mission as a side job.
She stood up on her own and walked toward the door. Once she reached the courtyard, she vanished from sight.
Xu Mu stretched vigorously and collapsed back onto the sofa.
It was still half an hour before Ye Tong got off work, so Xu Mu opened his system to check his current Justice Points.
It looked decent—enough for three more ten-pulls.
Without hesitation, he started the lottery.
He clicked the wheel, and the rewards began to appear one by one.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 30 Cultivation Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 20 Attribute Points.]
The opening was still the familiar two-piece set.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received Storage Space.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a Five-Grade Rare Treasure Box.]
…
…
[Congratulations, host, you have received 30 Cultivation Points.]
The first ten-pull came to an end. Overall, it wasn’t bad—nothing too flashy.
After that, Xu Mu started the second ten-pull.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 30 Cultivation Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 20 Attribute Points.]
…
…
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received Storage Space.]
The second ten-pull also ended, and it was even better than the first.
Storage space was something he could use, and the remaining ten guaranteed rewards would also contribute to raising his realm.
However, Xu Mu noticed a bottleneck. After so many draws, he’d found a pattern:
The Cultivation Points and Attribute Points were almost always 30 and 20, with occasional higher amounts but very rare.
Unlike the treasure boxes, which improved in grade as his realm increased, these points didn’t scale.
He was currently in the Detachment Realm, needing 3,200 points to level up. If he advanced to the First Stage of the Boundary Break, it would be 6,400 points.
He wasn’t sure if the Second Stage required the same 6,400 or if each stage doubled from the last. If it kept doubling, at this rate, he didn’t know how long it would take to reach the top.
Still, compared to ordinary people, his speed was already fast enough.
Xu Mu clicked the wheel, starting the third ten-pull.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 30 Cultivation Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a Justice Points Doubling Card.]
“Huh?”
Xu Mu scratched his head. What the hell was that?
It was the first time he’d gotten something like this.
The rewards kept coming, and he decided to check it out after finishing all the draws.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 20 Attribute Points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received ten kilograms of gold.]
…
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received 30 Cultivation Points.]
After the third ten-pull ended, Xu Mu examined the Justice Points Doubling Card he had obtained.
The card wasn’t in his storage space—it appeared below his status panel.
Xu Mu long-pressed the card, and its description appeared.
[For one hour, all Justice Points gained by the host will be doubled.]
Below the card was a countdown timer, currently showing 59 minutes remaining.
“Holy shit? This exists?”
Xu Mu was startled. He had just been thinking that in the later stages, if it was still 30 points per pull, it would take forever to advance. Now, a doubling card had appeared.
With Ye Tong’s own aura capable of doubling points, combining that with this card would mean multiplying the output by four.
If he normally earned 2,000 Justice Points, good for two ten-pulls, Ye Tong’s doubling would make it four, and with the doubling card, it would become eight. He had never fought such a rich battle before.
But the time limit of one hour was a pain.
Xu Mu sat on the sofa, considering his options. First, he could gather everyone close to him and have Ye Tong double the points.
Meng Wanyue and Xu Ningbing probably couldn’t keep up.
That left people like Feng Yue, Ye Yu, Bai Yi, and others.
But except for Ye Yu, the others generally had low destiny levels.
He also had another method: deep interaction, like doing the deed with Feng Yue. Usually, when they were intimate, the favorability gained was high.
But that had a downside—Ye Tong couldn’t double the points during such moments.
He couldn’t exactly have Ye Tong watching while he fought with Feng Yue, could he?
Xu Mu pulled out his phone. Regardless, he decided to ignore the finer details for now. First, he’d gather everyone he could. Then he’d figure something out.
More people definitely meant more power—that much was certain.
As they spoke, Xu Mu took out his phone. Just as he was about to make a call, he heard the doorbell of the villa ring.
Through his perception, he saw Shi Fumeng, dressed in a JK uniform.
"Perfect timing!"
Xu Mu clapped his hands enthusiastically. Another female lead had arrived.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
